Letter to the editor: U.S. doesn't have credentials to show world freedom

With the Obama administration's recent threat to use force against the Syrian government following a suspected chemical attack against its own Syrian citizens, perhaps now would be a good time to question if the United States should really play the role of world police.

With the grasp of the National Security Agency becoming public knowledge more and more every day, with the knowledge of a blatant disregard by law enforcement of the Constitution and search and seizure laws, with the onslaught of warrantless arrests, searches and executions throughout this current administration (though certainly not limited to it), our "representatives" in Washington should be asking themselves if we have the credentials to show the rest of the world freedom and democracy, or if we are just, in fact, the blind leading the blind.
